Hopefully they'll look a bit more macho and get more respect than our BiB's in Fife:

Interesting link that. When the Segaway is used in the shopping centre it is considered to be private property, however a car on the same private property is considered to still be liable to the rules of a public road.

A public place doesn't change because of the 'vehicle' used upon it.

That's really going to worry the scumbags isn' it!

And the electricity supply that recharges the scooters is generated from what exactly? The energy needed to design, manufacture, transport and repair electric scooters comes from what exactly?

Mostly fossil fuels burnt in power stations, and that's highly unlikely to change no matter how many unemployable anti-capitalist submarxists in white overalls prance around with daft slogans on sticks.

Unless thousands of new nuclear power plants are built.

Feckwittery of the highest order, as expected these days.

Just emailed that link around our enquiry centre, there are still some people chuckling about it as a few of our ex-colleagues are now PCSO's.
